WORKING & LIVING WITH DEMENTIA

Insights on the lives of people who are living and working with dementia.

This blog was created to encourage awareness of dementia in the workplace and help support people working with dementia and their care partners. We share information that can help us better understand how dementia affects families, friends, colleagues, and others who are concerned about cognitive impairment.
